Wow, I haven't read this whole thing yet, I skimmed it and pulled out some interesting tid-bits - I just wanted to comment right away and say thank you for such a detailed post responding to my question. Fascinating details.

Libertarian -> Anarcho-Capitalist -> Minarchist

Politically, I'm pretty close to where you are as a "minarchist" perhaps a step more libertarian than Libertarianism, but not quite anarcho-captalist. I'm not anti-authoritarian (as most anarchists are), but anti-tyrantarian. I can sympathize somewhat with the philosophy of anarchists, but I do not believe it would be the beautiful utopia they believe it would be. It would actually be hell on earth because the world would be ruled by capital. It would become ARCHO-CAPITALISM pretty quickly.

Volunteerism is beautiful, free market capitalism is brilliant, a mind-your-own-business mentality could free our society from the serfdom slave-system we are watching form today.
